    @Kadafi err, @arubislander asked you to download, while you clicked on 'install'. That's not the same thing and clicking to download allows precisely to test if the mere act of downloading is blocked or if the downloading works fine but UT crashes while installing. Once the file is downloaded (a file with extension of '.click') it's possible to install it by navigating to the folder and selecting it. UT asks you then to open with the store. This separates the 2 operations that the standard store installer bundles into one (for convenience, but it makes debugging more difficult).

    @pparent said: on desktop this feature is not as important as on mobile I did not say that the feature was useless, what I was meaning is that when there is already a feature upstream it's not the best idea of reinventing it unless there is good reason that the upstream wheel don't fit the use case. In fact upstreaming (when it makes sense) is in the UT COC, so somehow maintainers are supposed to think of that. @pparent said: it's handled browser-side Hum, I did not even think of that. If Google has absorbed the idea in its gigantic browser, it could trickle in QT browser engine. That's another case where it could be better not to use a specific UT implementation. @pparent said: it was not a merge request it was just an issue it was an issue but there is a MR linked (look under 'Development'). The idea is that it's a generic feature, not something specific to Ubuntu Touch. After all, mobile is far from a remote consideration for so called 'desktop' environments such as Kde and Gnome.

    @Kadafi said: @Moem thanks but i do not use telegram. That is why I said: If you don't use Telegram you can read it in a browser. Have you tried clicking or tapping on the link? You'll be invited to view the channel in Telegram, but there will also be a button that says 'preview channel'. [image: 1775322561011-img-2026-04-04-19-09-19.png] @Moem swipe up in the "calls" app does nothing. Keeps showing the number buttons to dial a number. Do you see the little grey button with an arrow, just under the green button that you use to make a call? Drag that little grey button upwards. That should do it. You'll see such buttons in more apps on UT. If you see one it's worth checking out what it does.

    With the Big Tech corporate surveillance state growing and growing, options such as UBPorts Ubuntu Touch are an absolute lifeline for freedom loving individuals all over the world. Big Tech agendas’ thrives because of the vast amount of profit they earn and are able pour back into their future plans while the hero developers from UBPorts and those amazing volunteer developers (such as Pierre Parent! And all the apps he has help bring into the OpenStore!) do so from the goodness in their hearts but of more simpler financial means. It seems like such an unfair fight and uphill battle for immense stakes (freedom and right to privacy). As a simple individual of modest means, who wants to help and contribute to freedom enabling solutions such as UBPorts’ Ubuntu Touch and the volunteer developers, what would you recommend as the best ways to donate personal donations and time to help the cause? To help the amazing hero developers fighting the good fight. We need them. We won’t maintain personal freedom and privacy without them. God bless you all as your efforts are so greatly appreciated, admired and respected! Godspeed.

    @brenno.almeida Nice! Your app could be very useful especially to receive notifications in background with lower battery costs. Hope the whatsmeow library can remain reliable in the long run! Maybe you would like to post some screenshots of your app?

    @Bolly Nothing escapes your eyes, does it. The item itself is just a small thing (it's nice though, and I have just 20 pieces, so if you like it don't wait too long) but the bigger picture is that I've learned how to add new products to the Shop, which is a good thing for a shopkeeper! You can expect to see similar surprises appear in the future.

    Has video/media playback improved?

    @gpatel-fr said: @floem7 said in Has video/media playback improved?: mkv plays without problems in default app a .mkv file is a container format, so the ability of UT mediaplayer to play these files depends on what is exactly the format of media tracks in the file. If the video track is "standard" mp4 or theora or h264 and sound track is mp3 or ogg/vorbis, there will be no problem. If for example the sound is amr or video is 'microsoft' mp4, it will probably not work. It's not obvious to check on the format of a .mkv file under Ubuntu Touch, it's much easier under a PC running Linux where you can easily install mkvinfo (ffplay or gst-discoverer-1.0 will also be able to interpret the files to some extent). Indeed none of my .mkv files work. I've tried converting to .mp4 using ffmpeg, but it still doesn't play. What target (that we're sure it's supported) video and audio format/encoding should I use?

    I'm wondering about something, as this problem is an IP loss problem, I think it should be noted that by defualt NetworkManager uses it's internal dhcp handler. But it is also possible to configure it to use dhclient. And I wonder if the later would not be more reliable. So I think I will test to change the configuration of my NetworkManager to use dhclient, and see if it has any impact on this bug.

    @Moem Yes, its light and very thin! But I remember now why I have'nt used it for a long time. The main camera is broken. Found a sparepart for 15$. So a bit of surgery is required. Another thing that is much easier on older hw.. According to the "Features & usability" chart, there are a few issues. But everything seems to work fine for me, charging, gps, microphone even the notification led. thumbs up

    @oldbutndy Glad its helpful to someone. To quote Murina directly: "Regarding the re-flash service, it is currently only available in the EU. In the US, it is only offered for Fairphone 6 devices purchased from Murena. I understand that this device is a Fairphone 5 model, and Murena has never sold the Fairphone 5 in the US. If the device can be shipped to the original purchaser, or if you are located in the EU, I may be able to arrange the re-flash service for a fee of €99. All shipping costs would need to be covered by the customer. The 99 Euro fee will still apply even if the reflash does not restores the device's state to its original one." So essentially, if you own a Fairphone 5 in the US, or didnt buy it directly from them, they are not helping you. In addition if they do help you, they are charging more than Fairphone themselves for the exact same service.

    @arubislander said: Although, to be fair the creator of the WhatsNew app has taken measure to suspend the app when it looses focus as well I've not done that specifically in whatsnew. What happens is that normally when an electron app is not anymore in foreground it goes into a "throttling" mode meant to keep operating the website but with lower resources. This is a feature from chromium. That being said I have no idea why XWayland/electron apps don't get suspended by default. For Signal UT or Whatsnew it is handy to get background notifications though. The behaviour encountered by @smobilesoft (high CPU usage) is not normal , I've not been able to observe it myself, and it seems since he reinstalled the app it has gone. So this is a bit strange.

    @pparent no :(, the battery now is ok, I will monitor it for a couple of days and I ll post here the results. Feel free to ask me any question, I ll monitor the topic. PS I just remembered something: when I updated your app, at the same time I updated the OS. I was waiting for the OS to be downloaded without leaving from the update app. When it finished I clicked on the button next to it and before I exit the update app, the phone automatically restarted to update the OS. It restarted twice, maybe that was the issue, because after that I immediately noticed the battery drainage.
